The stockings were hung by fhe chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon mould be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads. And Mamma in her kerchief and 1 in my cap had just settled down for a long winter's nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.

And then in a twinkling, 1 heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes how they twinkled! His dimples how merry. His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry. His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow. The stump of a pipe held tight in his teeth, and the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly that shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full ofjelly.He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, and 1 laughed when I saw him, in spite of .. myself. A wink of his eye and a twist of & his head soon gaue me to know / had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk. And laying his finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, and away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night." K Mm lay you have a most enjoyable holiday season. Greetings from all of us. _ - A. - ' m *m err Coast News, December 20,1982 A backward glance As one last glance back at the year that has been, we would focus on regional director Jim Curney of Area E. If there has been one resident of the Sunshine Coast who has been more constantly on the hot seat in the past year we do not know who it could be. As chairman of the regional board in the past year Gurney has been subjected to almost constant attack. He has been villified and ridiculed, castigated and condemned. It is worth noting that in the new regional alignment Gurney has been elected vice-chairman by his fellow directors and has been appointed to the responsible position of finance chairman by the new regional board chairman, Mayor Lorraine Goddard of Gibsons. lt must be apparent that Gurney retains the trust and confidence of his fellow directors which would seem to lend credence to our steadfast position that much of the criticism of the outgoing board under his leadership was at least ill-informed and certainly ill-considered. We would also draw to the attention of the people of the Sunshine Coast the fact that of all the tax monies collected on the Sunshine Coast the amount attributed to the regional government is between six per cent and nine per cent depending on the regional area. It must be apparent to all but the most determinedly closed minds that the characterization of the regional government as a slavering, tax-devouring monster run by fatheads is and has always been a travesty of truth and justice. May the new year bring fairer comment and clearer motives. Best wishes In accordance with long-standing custom, the Sunshine Coast News will not be published between Christmas and the New Year. Our office will be closed between December 20 and December 30. We take the year-end opportunity editorially to wish all and sundry peace and joy during the festive season and in the coming year. As we lay aside the cares of the world for a refreshing pause, so do we lay aside the disagreements and debates which have exercised us over the year. More disagreements and debates undoubtedly lie ahead in what promises to be an interesting and perhaps difficult new year. In the meantime, the merriest of Christmasses to one and all and the best possible 1983. .from tha filaa of the COAST NEWS itfjB^ MtT^d) _ Xm\ t*S&i). 5 YEARSAGO Among the stable beasts, a new animal has become the guardian of the crib this year.

Of course I did. ' I remembered a long-legged, elfin child, sparkling brown eyes and a shy mischievous smile, who drove the nuns at the Sechelt Residential School to distraction, because she was like quicksilver, here one moment, somewhere else the next, leaving behind a trail of her belongings! I * I went to a boarding school when I was ten and, although I loved every minute (well, almost) of those seven years, I remember how much we appreciated being taken out by friends or relatives on Saturday afternoons. So it wasn't long after we moved here that we approached Father Bernardo at the Residential School, asking permission to bring some of the children home for supper on a Saturday. This was given, and one of those children was Julie. That was twenty or so years ago, making quick calculations. Would I still recognize her? When she walked in a few hours later, a lovely young woman accompanied by her husband and baby daughter, we had no doubts. Here was the same Julie. We talked about those days, of course, and the other girls, and I was reminded of a wonderful Christmas all those years ago. Three days before Christmas, Mother Superior 'phoned to say she had three little girls who were stranded at the school for the holidays. Would wclike to take them? "We'd love to." I said, "We'll pick them up this afternoon." Then it dawned on me what I'd done. Even though we have never believed in expensive gifts at Christmas, the dolls, necessary clothes and other small things I'd bought for our three daughters, had drained the budget, and now I'd just doubled the size of our family and there was no way I could discriminate between the children. Friends and neighbours came to our rescue with donations of toys and clothing, the 5-and-10 cent store marked down three dolls for us, so that when the great day arrived, each of the six had an assortment of brand new and recycled gifts. The story of the fat old gentleman who was expected to come down the chimney on Christmas Eve, to stuff toys and goodies into the stockings left at the foot of the beds, was a bewildering mystery to these children. They frankly didn't believe it, and I found Doris, the eldest, contemplating the chimney from the outside and muttering to herself' 'no way''. They quite obviously thought we were all either mad or having them on. It seemed only minutes after I'd been coping into the wee hours of the morning with making sure that each stocking had the same ratio of goodies to toys, that six excited children crowded onto our bed for the traditional stocking exploration. Later in the day, after the "big" presents had been given out from under the tree, Doris confided in me that she now *�� Wb^lU cSiifsei't'wris we who wire Santa Claus, but as we visited with friends and neighbours over the holidays and the girls discovered that in everyone's house there was a small token for them under the tree, they came to the realization that Santa Claus is the spirit of Christmas and can be found everywhere. One of the requirements of the school was that the girls should attend Mass and neighbours kindly took them to the service. This particular Sunday, I was in the garden and heard Vi, who would have been about seven, racing down the driveway shouting "Mum, Mum". The breathless child flung herself into my arms and pressed a quarter into my hand, saying, "Mum, this is for you". "But Vi," I said, "Igaveyou the quarter to put in the collection." "Yes, I know," she replied, "I put that one in the plate, but I took this one out for you." What could I do but hug them all, especially Doris and Marlene who felt their younger sister had disgraced them. We still hear from Father Bernardo each Christmas and he always asks for news of the children. For many years now they've all gone their separate ways and we've lost touch with them, but this year I can tell him about Julie and I know he'll be as thrilled as we were when the 'phone rang and the shy voice asked, "Do you remember me?" the Bay.

Original sepia print from the collection of my grandfather, Thos. John Cook, who took up land in Sechelt In 1891. I Slings & Arrows^ George Matthewsf^ Normally I wouldn't have much good to say about the Christmas season. I just don't care for it very much. The prospect of being obliged to make polite conversation with people I wouldn't even say hello to does not excite feelings of warmth, generosity and good cheer. The weather stinks, I hate crowds and I don't like spending money. Until now, the only thing the season had to recommend it is a good schedule of football games and the fact that the sun begins its long journey back to the northern hemisphere where it belongs. The most pleasant way to celebrate Christmas I've heard of recently was from a family that lights a candle on Christmas Day and dances around it and sings to celebrate the return of the sun. That makes sense. One Christmas I went skinny dipping in the pool at the Holiday Inn. That was fun. At least it was until I found out the hotel staff had gathered around the closed circuit TV for a half hour of amusement. I was saying that up until now Christmas has not been my favourite season. This year, I had a chance to witness some things that have altered my normally Scrooge-like approach. Don't get me wrong; I'm not likely to crumble into maudlin sentimentality. I'm not getting senile or soft-hearted in my old age, but there is something in- AW AY IN A MANGER Away In a manger, No crib lor a bed, The little lord Jesus UM down Hit tweet head, The slan In the sky Looked down where He lay, The little lord |��u��, Asleep on the hay.

Lord lesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, And love me, I pray; Mess all the dear children In Thy tender care, And take us to heaven, To live with Thee Ihere. spirational in seeing people help out their neighbours at this time of year. I was down taking pictures at the United Church hall the other day, where members of the Elves Club were preparing food hampers for the needy. There are a lot of needy folks around these days. People donated food, money, gifts and time to put together more than 300 hampers of food and presents and the next day they were to be delivered to families up and down the Coast who otherwise would have had a generally miserable time of it this year. One lady calculated that one of these hampers would be worth something like $80 to $100. That's $25,000 to $30,000 worth of goods that people on the Sunshine Coast had donated to help their neighbours. She also said that it seems the tougher the times, the more people were likely to donate. There was more Christmas spirit in that hall than I've seen for several years and it wasn't hard to see that there was more good feeling in the giving than there was likely to be even in the receiving. Another incident was shown on TV, where the patrons of a Vancouver pub, obviously not particularly well-off themselves, had chipped in to buy a Christmas present for some people who really needed it. There was more good cheer in the giving of the generous gift than these folks ever got from all the beer they must have consumed over the year. Then there was the story of the family of four in Quesnel who spent their time making soup for the down-and-outers in town. The husband and wife, both unemployed, lived on $800 a month in welfare. They get up every morning and make a big pot of soup and then set up a food stand on the main street, in the freezing weather, where they hand out soup to folks who would otherwise go hungry. If there's any left over, they take it home to feed the family. A person would have to be pretty cynical and insensitive not to admire that kind of sacrifice. So, I guess there is something to this Christmas stuff after all. I'm not likely to run right out and buy a big turkey for some poor family with a kid who walks with a crutch; but, I hope Ood blesses all those generous people who did something kind for someone this year. They certainly made my Christmas special. In fact, I'm inspired enough to wish all my colleagues and friends Season's Greetings. To Becky, and John and Geoff and Evo and my mom and dad and Andrea, Lindsay and Lesley and all the people I work with: Best Wishes. I never send Christmas cards. Coast News, December 20.1982 Letters to the Editor A bitterness stirring Editor: As 1 look around my country today, I feel a bitterness stirring. And 1 don't know who to blame. 1 can't blame the average working man. All he asks for his forty hours of labour is food, shelter and clothing. I don't know of too many who get too much more; in fact, most get less. I'm told by the F.I.R. that 1 can't blame them. Yes, it's true they're laying off thousands of workers without a thought as to what might happen to them and they themselves will continue to grow fat of f the money they say they don't have, but after all, pulp isn't selling, and you can't make what you can't sell. So I look higher. Can il be you, Bennett, wilh those lying eyes and thai cheating smile? Are you responsible for the hungry looks of our province's children and the woman who, in desperation, left her newborn baby in the Vancouver streets to die? Can you even begin to tell me why we ���have the highest suicide rate in recorded history? No? So what about you, Trudeau? In your arrogance you finger the poor while you lick the hands of the rich. Are the people's lives really so meaningless to you, can you tell me you honestly care? I see people of my town growing thin with hunger and hear about the unjust fines levied against them for shooting a deer out of season. I see small chidren asking Santa Claus for a job. I see decent men shoplifting groceries. Now I understand why the Bolsheviks shot the Czar. Leslie Ellison, Gibsons Let bells ring out Boy Scouts grateful Editor: The Boy Scouts movement owes much to individuals, business firms and organizations who have co-operated and aided in making 1982 a year of progress. The Sunshine Coast District continues to grow and the Council administers eight community groups, from Gibsons to Pender Harbour. Contributions of time and substance by many volunteers account for a healthy expansion. The uniformed leaders are, of course, the first to be deserving of recognition and praise. Gratefulness is also extended to members of the B.P. Guild, and to members of our sister organization, the Girl Guide movement, for their cooperation. Thanks are due to The Press, The Coast News, Channel 10 Cablevision, for space and time in these medias. The Howe lust arrived!

The Sechelt School District has continuously supplied accommodation for meetings of both youth and adults. The District Council is most grateful for the many hours which group committee members have donated to the cause.

Scouting is a grand example of the volunteer movement at work. Thankfully yours, Edw. J. Dinsley, President District Council Editor: Let the bells of Christmas ring out their joyful song -Jesus the Christ is born - is brought forth among men to tell them of God's ever-presence, all-power and all-goodness. The child Jesus was loved and nurtured by his mother, who had "conceived him by the Holy Ghost", as the Gospel tells us, and was protected and guarded by Joseph, who took the mother and child into hiding until those who wanted to kill him were dead. As we prepare for, and anticipate, the celebration of Christmas, we need to lift our thought to the real meaning of Christmas. As we do, we will find it is possible today for the Christ that Jesus so fully lived to come to each one of us in consciousness, where we need to love and nurture it, guard and protect it. In a Christmas message for 1900, Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, said: "Today the Christ is, more than ever before, 'the way, the truth and the life' -'which lighteth every man that cometh into the world', healing all sorrow, sickness, and sin." And she adds: "At this immortal hour, all human hate, pride, greed, lust, should bow and declare Christ's power, and the reign of Truth and Life divine1 should make man's being pure ��nri hlest." Jesus said (John 13:34): "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." The world is urgently in need of this love for one another, and we must find ways to express it intelligently in order to find solutions to world problems. These problems can only be solved with a better understanding of brotherly love. Let us now, at this season of happy remembrance, rededicate ourselves,, to living. by that "true Light, which lighteth every, man that cometh into the world" (John 1:9). Then, truly, will the bells of joy ring out loud and clear. Jeanie H. Ryley Chamber appreciates Editor: The Gibsons and District Chamber of Commerce would like to express its thanks to B.C. Tel and in particular to Stan Stubbs for their assistance with the Christmas lights at the Mall area. Without their help, it would have been very difficult to have put these in working order. We would also like to express seasons greetings to our members, and indeed to all who live on the peninsula. May peace and prosperity go with you all in 1983. Yours truly, Anthony D.

Seeing all those earnest faces so enthusiastically belting out the traditional carols would have to convince even the most hardbitten Scrooge that Christmas still has meaning and magic. That was the message of the Roberts Creek Elementary Christmas Concert held in the spacious new joint facility last Wednesday. The intermediate grades gave an eloquent explanation of the meaning with the symbolic Christmas tree and the primary grades demonstrated the magic with "Christmas in Outer Space". There was everything for a space fantasy: from Santa in a rocketship (but still with a trusty reindeer to lead the way and give some prompting on lines), big yellow Pac-men on skinny little legs, and robots of all descriptions, to dramatically made-up punk rockers, balloon people, and, of course, a cameo appearance by E.T. All this with special effects such as giant bubbles, a backdrop of swirling colours, and music, fittingly enough, from "2001: ASpaceOdessey". All went amazingly smoothly���for a Christmas concert anyway. After all the adlibs are the most fun. What would it have been without the eager little girl in the primary choir waving to her parents between songs or the little kindergartener's looks of consternation when one of her red balloons fell off in the middle of a vigorous twirl? And the biggest hand of the night went to the baby sister who couldn't resist an empty stage and unused spotlight! My cheeks hurt from smiling by the end of the performance. It was good entertainment and fun to see all the kids dressed up and so pleased to be there. Their excitement make's you realize that Christmas is not just something to get over with. ��� BURSARY MEMORIAL: ^���^M*ftiSeH*o-S the .tomni unity2| -will be pleased to know that iA bursary has been established in' memory of Ron McSavaney.' Each year a student of Elphinstone Senior Secondary School will receive $500 for academic studies. The bursary will be paid by the Elphinstone Recreation Group but it is emphasized that the memorial is' on behalf of all the community in recognition of the important part Ron played in the community until his death last month. Ron played a vital part in the development of Roberts Creek as a nice place to live. He was a charter member of the community association and one of the founding members of the Elphinstone Recreation Group over 20 years ago. The Elphinstone Recreation Group runs the Tuesday night bingo at the Roberts Creek Community Hall and has been responsible for the continued operation of the hall and the purchase of the land for the post office and library as well as donations totalling around $10,000 per year to community groups and functions of all kinds. Ron worked hard for many years on the bingo and other community projects such as the new joint facility. He was not as active the last couple of years after he became very sick. But those who know what he had accomplished in service to the community will remember him and the bursary in his name will give his achievements the recognition they deserve. CRIB NEXT YEAR: Ray Del.ong was first, Art Hauka second and Mike Cawthra won the booby prize at last week's crib night at the Roberts Creek Legion. That's il for the crib this year. Thursday night crib and bridge will start again January 6. CLOSED CHRISTMAS: The Roberts Creek Legion will be closed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. It will be open New Year's Eve from 4 p.m. until 3 a.m. In keeping with the present state of the economy and everybody's pocketbooks, there's no charge for New Year's Eve at the legion this year. Food will be served and dancing will be to tapes. If you have some good dance cassettes please bring them along. CHRISTMAS SERVICES: St. Aidan's will be joining St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church in Gibsons for the Christmas Eve service at 11:30 p.m., Friday. A carol service will be held at St. Aidan's on Boxing Day at 11 a.m. There is no Christmas Day service at St. Aidan's Sechelt grant denied The Village of Sechelt's application for a Canada Com-. munity Development Program grant of $112,000 Iras Teen * turned down by the federal agency. Notification of the grant refusal was received by the village office Monday, December 13th. The grant, which was originally sought by Sechelt developer Henry Hall, was to be used for building boat launching facilities in Trail Bay. When Sechelt council refused to support an application for a foreshore lease, which Hall needed to proceed with his project, Mr. Hall gave the village his grant application. It was this application that was denied Monday. Reasons for denying the grant are reported to be based on the fact that other applications had higher priority. Grant disbursals for the B.C. mainland coastal area total $183,000. The Sunshine Coast has received $16,600. This represents one grant given to a group to do work in Brookman Park.

Supporting the arguments were a number of Pender Harbour residents, who had put their thoughts and feelings on video-tape at a meeting December 6th of the Chamber of Commerce, which was open to the community. The first application had been turned down and people Happiness at Welcome Beach by Kulh Forrester, 885-2418 HAPPlNKSSlsM Happiness is a night at the Welcome Beach Hall when the children of Halfmoon Bay School present their Christmas concert. On Thursday night there was standing room only for parents and friends and the air was electric with the excitement and anticipation of the children taking part. The even smaller ones in the audience could hardly contain themselves because they knew that somewhere along the evening they might even get to see Santa Claus. The "dress- ingroom" was a hive of activity with little ones donning cosutmes and makeup for their big moment on slage. There were elves and fairies, reindeer with red noses, Snow White was there, so was Frosty the Snowman and there were even a couple of wee mice. David Short, head teacher at the school, managed to get enough silence to extend a warm welcome to all and to make ment ion of some special guests, among whom was one man who delighted the children by just being there. He was George Blackstock who drives the school bus and from the welcome he received he must be a very popular fellow with the kids. The programme was opened by a welcome from some of the wee kindergarten ones who were then joined by grade one for '"Twas the Night before Christmas". The grade one children then showed their versatility with a rendition in French of a French carol���very nicely done. Grades two and three combined with a beautifully costumed and well- staged version of "Frosty the Snowman" playing "Jingle Bells" on recorders, and the grande finale was "Snow White and the Seven Elves". The children then joined the audience in somecarol singing while they awaited the arrival of the great man himself���Santa Claus���who arrived a wee bit late because one of his reindeer had broken down a* on the way and he had to get a ride to the hall. But arrive he did, and what a welcome he got! He had a bag loaded with parcels���one for every child in the hall as well as a few for the teachers. After Santa left there were delicious refreshments and goodies for everyone. Much credit for this happy evening must be given to the teaching staff; David Short, Quentin Docherty, Lorene Taylor and aide Katherine Kelly who must have put in many hours preparing the children for their parts, and who made a fantastic job of the beautiful stage settings too. The parents too are due praise for costume making and for providing all the delicious food. But a very special mention and presentation were made to the lady who had practised with and who played piano throughout the whole show���Elsie Julian. There was another delightful eveing in the hall last Saturday when the Welcome Beach Community Association held its Annual Christmas Dinner and Dance. Once again the hall was packed to capacity as some 80 people sat down for a delicious turkey dinner. The after-dinner entertainment was provided by a group from the Halfmoon Bay Variety Show under the leadership of Nicky Weber, which sang a selection of Christmas songs and was then joined by everyone in carol singing. The group for this particular evening comprised Connie Wilson on piano with vocals by John Hamilton, Nicky, Dave Wilson, Dierdre Hartwell, Pat Murphy, Floyd Carmen and Ruth Forrester. A most enjoyable evening of dancing followed. The next affair at the hall will be the Christmas Eve Carol Service to which everyone is welcome, then the New Years party which will start at 9 p.m. Members are invited to bring their guests and join in for an evening of fun. Watch our for the fire truck on Monday (December 20) evening when it will have a load of local children singing carols along Redrooffs Road some time around 7 p.m. Would like to take advantage of being a columnist for this paper.

I know that Irvines Landing children were agape when they saw the Candy and Gingerbread House donated by Sandy Jones and Bonnie of Sandy's Collision. It had all types of bright, colourful candies clustered on it and the kids could just pick away. For New Year's, the Garden Bay Pub is having a dinner and dance gala affair. It will begin at 7:00 p.m. and Marita says it will end well into 1983. Tickets are available at the Pub for $40 per couple, that includes dinner, champagne, party favours and the good dance music of Grant Milliner and his Invisible Band. The tides and winds were really high this week, but after seeing the news I think we got off easily. Even though the road around the Lagoon to Taylor's Store was blocked off, it was better than being badly flooded inside our homes. When I walked out of the store I ran into a fellow who said he'd heard Taylor's had two feet of water in the store! I'll tell you ���it takes the Harbour to get a good rumour going. Last I heard, Richard Paton was my brother (no); I'd been married before (no); and I owned a house in Gibsons too (how delightful, but no!). How's this for stability? Jock Gibson, when queried how he felt about the return of the mini skirt, thought a moment then replied that his kilt has never varied in length over the years. I hope everyone has a relaxing and rejuvenative holiday. I know I will. CHILDREN'S CONCERT: I wasn't able to attend the Madeira Park Elementary School's Christmas concert this year, but I understand from those I have spoken to who did attend, that it was the best ever. The theme this year was Christmas around the world, with the various classes portraying Christmas in different countries. Thanks, kids, from the whole community for all of the work you put into making it so delightful. Need Welding Repairs Done?

An annual project for the Elves Club, the Christmas hampers were filled with food and gifts donated by people in the community. Names of needy families come from requests from those in need and from Human Resources. Thirty to forty volunteers collected the food, which includes turkey, ham, vegetables, cake and gifts, estimated to be worth $80 to $100 in each of the more than 300 hampers. Last year, the Elves Club delivered 167 hampers. Current economic conditions on the Coast presumably account for the nearly doubling in the number of hampers. Spokesman Bev Young told the Coasl News that while the number of hampers is much greater this year, the community has pitched in to a much greater extent than usual, and donations of food, money and gifts have been generous enough to fill the requests. Gwen in Gibsons Consumers' Association? by Gwen Robertson 886-3780 In difficult times, such as we are presently experiencing, with so many out of work, and businesses failing, people And it necessary to eliminate the frills and be very careful about how they spend their dollars. Shopkeepers tell me that they must Jay off people and the salespersons must- wprk twice as hard. Customers are shopping much more carefully and junk food, which brought good revenue to the shop, is being cut way back. Does it not seem an appropriate time for a branch of the Consumers Association of Canada to be established on the Sunshine Coast? Jesse Burger- jon, a part-time resident of the Coast has made a beginning. A CAC information centre is being set up at the Community Services Association office in Sechelt. Jesse is also looking for a place or places in Gibsons where information may be disseminated - perhaps in the library and/or in the health centre. As soon as it has been established, I will let you know. In the meantime, those who wish to become members of the Consumers Association of Canada may call me and I will establish a list. It is my understanding that we will be attached to the Vancouver branch of the CAC whose address is: Consumers Association of Canada, Room 103 -163 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6B 1H5. c/o Janet Fast. I will be pleased to hear from you about any consumer pro- Pub for blem areas. Comparison shopping is now possible on the Sunshine Coast and prices are becoming closer to those in Vancouver, but we have much to learn and the Consumers Association of Canada, established for many years, (I forget how many) is willing and able to teach us.

Last spring, I was able to get into the middle of a nuclear fuel rod manufacturing plant in New Brunswick, very easily, thank you. And several years ago, when I was a fulltime activist, I was offered, through an intermediary, an ounce of plutonium stolen from a U.S. nuclear facility, the idea being to use the stuff to publicise the vulnerability of such installations to terrorism or theft. I turned down the plutonium, but made sure the federal government was aware that the offer had been made. Shortly thereafter - this was in 1976 - the locks were changed across Canada at nuclear power stations. But that didn't stop some people in Toronto from paddling by canoe to the edge of an Ontario Hydro nuclear plant, then wandering inside, unopposed. I note in reports from the U.S. that security experts sent cessful completion of phase of goal. CANCER (June 22-July 22) This could be a disappointing week especially as it catches you unawares. Emotional turmoil, oppression and disappointment plague you. A run of luck has left you out of practice! Take it on the chin and retrieve what you can. LEO (July 23-August 22) Holiday season finds you hard at work .creating appropriate atmosphere. Scorn from another may be a reminder to balance party mood with humanitarian and spiritual issues, and you can slide into appropriate gear easily. VIRGO (August 23-Sept. 22) Party mood loosens reserve and you are tempted to damn and belittle long-time opponent. Ybii have won, J9|it, gloating will backfire. Reiterate original goal from time of initiation of the relationship: you saw the situation and hoped to help. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Ocl. 22) Closer union with a friend of opposite sex clarifies your direction and completes foundational thinking re. career goals. Mature woman is an admirable confidante. Remember ideas require action! SCORPIO: Oct. 23-Nov. 22) New cycle of growth and opportunity opens. Realize that cynicism reflects a failure to cope, an impotence on your part. Learn to participate in conflicts by duelling with ideas, not personalities. SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 23- Dec.20) Your certainty that you are right may cause you to bowl someone over in important discussion. Such an intense emotional stand scares people away. You can recover losses, but must court wariness with calm reasonableness repeatedly before subject can be raised again. CAPRICORN: Dec. 21- Jan. 19) Unlimited opportunity for, expansion on all levels is within long-term reach.

Recently, I happened to be driving past the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, and had a bit of the story behind that facility explained to me, admittedly by one of the people who have been trying for years to close the place down. Biased, perhaps. But I had listened to the hogwash uttered by the manager of the fuel rod manufacturing plant in New Brunswick a couple of months before, so I Figured my "objectivity" wouldn't be strained. Rocky Flats is the place where they build all the triggers for all the atomic weapons built by the United States. For the record, the Americans are reportedly adding three nuclear weapons a day to their stockpiles. According to my guide, Mark Neski, Rocky Flats has the highest plutonium emissions in the world. The cancer rate in the immediate vicinity is 20 per cent higher than anywhere else. "The only way they can get any workers to go there is to pay $16 an hour even for washing the floors. Merchants are upset because they can't get a shopping mall built. The damn old plutonium is ruining business," Neski said. "The housing development near here is built on land that has 44 times the amount of plutonium contamination that state laws actually allow. "But the state can't do anything about it because state laws don't apply to federal facilities." Anybody who might think this is an exaggeration - what democratic government would do a thing like that to its own people? - has not been following the progress of the trial in Salt Lake City, where 24 radiation victims are suing the U.S. for $48 million in damages. These are victims of cancer, birth defects, miscarriages and genetic diseases who lived hi the path of fallout from above- ground nuclear blasts conducted by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission during the 1950'sandl960's. If they win, another 1,200 such claims will immediately be launched. It turns out, according to evidence submitted at the trial, that the Army Corps of Engineers hadn't completed safety studies on radioactive fallout by 1951, when atomic tests were moved from the far Pacific to Nevada. One witness described the arrival of Atomic Energy Commission scientists who later came to test the water and milk for radiation in a downwind Nevada town. They ate only the rations they brought with them, but never warned anybody about eating local produce. Many of the residents later died of Hodgkin's disease or leukemia. What can you say?

Review below. _Ft��� ,*,��� ,,���,,, Tartuffe A most difficult play by John Burnside One must applaud the courage and imagination of Suncoast Players for bringing us Moliere's Tartuffe - two performances this week at the Sechelt Elementary School Gymnasium, Tuesday and Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. Principally, the credit must go to Gordon Wilson, president of the club and director of this production. Wilson has obviously understood that an amateur company has an opportunity, and perhaps an obligation, to measure itself continually against the challenging heights of the theatre and we are indebted to him for bringing us an oppor- ' Amity to familiarize ourselves with ihe work of the greatest French dramatist. It is a continuing truth, however, that the path of aspiring excellence is strewn with , constant pitfalls and unfortunately this brave and attractive production finds a few along the way. The programme notes tell us that Tartuffe was the first of Moliere's work, produced under the patronage of the Sun King, Louis XIV of France, in the second half of the 17th Century. It is a satiric comedy of manners and style, which lampoons the religious hypocrisy prevalent at the time and never completely out of style. In brief, the play deals with a tyrannical father, Orgon, who befriends and is taken in by the scheming hypocrite, Tartuffe. At one point, Tartuffe is engaged to Orgon's daughter, lecherously pursuing his wife, heir to all his property and all the while keeping Orgon persuaded that he, Tartuffe, is nothing less than a saint. Period comedies, such as Tartuffe, are deceptively difficult to do well. They absolutely demand a great deal of pace and polish and a high sense of style and, unfortunately, with a two notable and honourable exceptions, the demands and possibilities of the play were not quite realized by Wilson, in his first major directing foray, and his largely inexperienced cast. The two exceptions are actresses Judith Wilson and Mary Baecke as Elmire and Dorine, Orgon's wife and maid respectively. Both Wilson and Baecke played with the requisite level of intelligence, style and energy, and were a constant delight while they were on stage.

The two male leads, John Johnston as Orgon and Alan Karmazyn as Tartuffe, performed with valiant energy, but perhaps the sense of pace and style required was not quite so firmly within their grasp. For this reviewer, at least, it seemed that had the roles been reversed the actors might have been more comfortable. Throughout the performance, I was haunted with the possibility of Karmazyn of the big rich voice and physical stature as the self- satisfied burgher and the slimmer, silver-voiced Johnston as the scheming hypocrite - Karmazyn as Othello and Johnston as Iago, as it were. Apart from the questionable casting, the major difficulty in the performance on Thursday night was the vexatious question of pacing. Apart from Wilson and Baecke, no one in the cast, with the possible exception of Johnston, felt the urgency of pace that Tartuffe demands. What tends to happen in such a case with inexperienced actors is that they cover the gaps in the action wit h mugging and self-centred flamboyance rather than ensemble playing. Particularly susceptible in the performance under review were Karmazyn and Chris Car- row as Orgon's son Damis. Both actors have much experience as performers, as opposed to actors and, when things got slow, showed a tendency to revert to performing rather than acting. It must be said that there was evidence of intelligence and ability in both performances, but it was not marshalled and focussed quite as much as one would have liked. For the rest: David Karmazyn might have made more of his delightful cameo as the bailiff; Rod Crawford as Cleante was a delight to the eye, but hearing him was disappointingly difficult; Sandie Decker performed with energy, but might have been more comfortable, and left the audience more comfortable, if she had managed a somewhat more relaxed manifestation of that energy. First-timers Annabel Johnston, Richard Burns, and Michael Baecke, were perhaps in over their heads, but with this experience in a difficult play under their belts, will fine* their next assignments easier going. The set by Joe Harrison and the costuming were attractive and effective. The disappointingly slim audiences on the two opening nights should be a salutary first-hand lesson to Suncoast Players that the crowded Christmas season is not a good time to schedule performances. Nonetheless, they are to be commended for their courage and energy and thanked for the opportunity to meet Moliere. By weighted vote, members of the Sunshine Coast Regional Board would not approve the district's 1983 provisional budget until the board agreed to first deal with a motion put forward by Sechelt mayor Bud Koch. After dealing with Koch's motion, the board passed the provisional budget. The only negative votes cast were by Sechelt mayor Bud Koch and Area B representative Pat Murphy. Koch's motion contained four items: I. All SCRD staff return to a five day work week. 2. All salaries be frozen at early 1982 levels. 3. The hiring of a thrid planner be put on hold until the new service committee can establish priorities. 4. TheapproximatelySIOO.OOO now in general revenue earmarked for building acquisition be used now to lower our tax requisition for 1983. Item three was immediately ruled out of order as the board approved the hiring of a third planner at their last meeting. Before the items in the motion could be put to a vote, an in-camera meeting was held ostensibly because the motion dealt with staff matters. It was apparent, however, that a good deal of heated discussion and trade-offs would be necessary with the motion if the provisional budget was to pass. After a lengthy in-camera meeting, the board returned to the table to deal with the motion. The first item calling for Park aid forthcoming It appears some progress has been made this past week with regards to obtaining help to prevent Chapman Creek from doing any further damage to Brookman Park. At last Thursday's regular meeting of the Sunshine Coast Regional District, Area C director Jon McRae reported that the area has been inspected by Trevor Lewis from the Department of Environment and in liaison with federal fisheries officer Randy Tancock and Jamie Stephen, conservation officer. It has-been recommended that an official application from the Sunshine Coast Regional District be submitted requesting that work be allowed oh the creek. An application would then lead to a joint meeting of the departments of environment and fisheries. the SCRD staff to return to a five day work week was passed by weighted vote. Opposing the motion were chairman Lorraine Goddard, Area F director John Shaske, Area D director Brett McGillivray and Area E representative Jim Gurney. Items two and four of the motion were defeated. in that in-camera meeting, the board agreed to unfreeze staff merit raise increases for 1982 and 1983. The outside staff workers would also be eligible for step increases. This became effective when the board voted down item two of Koch's motion. In order to carry out item one of the motion, it will be necessary to pass a by-law. The secretary-treasurer was instructed to draw up such by-law for presentation to the board.

This year, on December (24th, St. John's United Church (at Davis Bay will hold two ser- ��� vices, one at 6:30 and the other at 8:00. Traditionally, the services are non-denominational, consisting of the simple narration of tile Christmas story and a number of the old familiar Cap offers course on organization Starting in January, Capilano College in Sechelt is offering a course on "People in Organizations". This course would apply to anyone working with groups of people.

Friends and neighbours and passersby are all most welcome. The 6:30 service will be the most suitable for small children, but families are advised that they are welcome at whichever service matches their busy time schedules. No collections are taken at these services. On a recent morning the sunshine was reflected by the smiling faces of thirty-nine members of the Roberts Creek Auxiliary to St. Mary's Hospital, when they met at the Creek Restaurant to enjoy a delightful lunch and to install the officers for the coming year. The Auxiliary prayer was given by Dorothy Bruce and Pauline Lamb, president of the Co-ordinating Council and one of our own past presidents, installed the following officers:��� President Peggy Gallo; Vice-President Dorothy Bruce; Treasurer Jay Town- send; Secretary Lillian Shields; Membership Jean Frewin; and Publicity Madeline Grose. Pauline also gave Beverley Northway her Past President's pin. In her annual report, Beverley said how much she had enjoyed her term of office and was particularly gratified to see a number of new members. Anna Pike has taken over the responsibility for Volunteer Chairman, but it was interesting to be told by Mildred Forbes that during the past year volunteers had worked 1,265 Harmony Hall by Gladys Coates Our annual Christmas dinner, catered by Klaus Catering, was well attended and enjoyed. Peggy Campbell and her singing group were a welcome addition. We have some talent in our midstl The sing-song brought out the love of singing in most of us. The Thursday evening bingo has been very well attended, and we will carry on through the holidays. Social bingo has been cancelled for December and will commence again January 10,1983. "Fun nights" also will be off for awhile, starting up again on January 7th, 1983. For pot luck in January, we are planning a Rabbie Burns night.

There will be a bar available to purchase liquid refreshments. The tickets are $5.00 per person and going fast. We are happy to have Eva Oliver back with us after an eye operation, and hope for her continued recovery. For all who are sick, our sympathy, and for the well, please stay that way!

Regional Board last Thursday j at the board's regular meeting. In that report Wagner requested that Ihe board adopt as a proposed budgel for the Commission's second year of operation, a figure of $85,970.00, which is just under the figure budgeted for this pasl year. He also requested that Mr. Russell Crum be approved as a member at large and the present members be reaffirmed forthe coming year. The board approved all three requests. In his report, Wagner noted that as of December 6th, the Economic Development Commission has been consulted on a total of over 70 business proposals, mostly new ventures lhat could result in almost 100 new jobs and over $7.5 million new investment. Firm seeks Porpoise Bay wharf lease A proposal from Sunshine Coast Recreation Consultants, a Vancouver based firm, to develop a recreation service business based at the Porpoise Bay public wharf, was presented to Sechelt council Wednesday. The proposal includes rentals of recreational equipment, small sailboats, canoes, windsurfers, dingies, waterski boots and fishing tackle. The Firm further plans to offer tourist packages and custom programmes for overnight and extended camping trips in the Sechelt Inlet area. The proposal asks the Sechelt council to lease the government wharf, currently leased to the village, to the company under the following conditions: "In return for the opportunity to lease the wharf for a nominal annual fee, the company agrees to use the facility as the primary base of operations for all rentals, packages, and some custom programmes. In addition, the company would offer year-round bait and marine gasoline sales, and, on behalf of the council, assume responsibility for caretaking and rent collection." Council will study the proposal. Tourism committee struck by Vedo The recent series of small business meetings on the coast has resulted in a quick response from the Economic Development Commission. A Tourism Development Committee has been struck and charged with establishing a community-wide body the task of which will be to maximise tourism and the benefits therefrom. "We received a clear call from operators of tourism- oriented businesses to get something going," said Economic Commissioner Oddvin Vedo. "They want an organization which, for the first time, represents the whole coast and combines all their strengths to generate business effectively." Chairing the committee is Middlepoint resident Richard Tomkies, Creative Director of JEM Productions Ltd.���one of western Canada's leading communications and Film production companies. With him are Barry Wilbee of Lowes Marina, Madeira Park; Bill Edney of Ken's Lucky Dollar in Gibsons; and Economic Development Commissioner Vedo. Wilbee and Edney are both members of the Economic Development Commission; Edney is also an alderman in Gibsons. The committee held its first meeting last Thursday, December 16. The mandate of the committee is to investigate options open to the community for the kind of organization required, make final recommendations then launch it on its way. A target date of late March has been set. "We're looking at either a Tourism Association or a Community Development Corporation," said Richard Tomkies. "There are lots of associations around���they tend to limit their activities to promotion. Development corporations, on the other hand, are a relatively new animal and very interesting. They have access to potentially massive funding and can provide a range of services far beyond promotion���none of which are available at ihe moment." The committee intends to expand its number to eight in the New Year. It plans to hold a series of public hearings to gather input from interested parties���particularly local government bodies and chambers of commerce. Its final product will be presented at an inaugural meeting of the proposed organization, and will consist of its name, its constitution and objectives and a slate of nominees for election there and then to the board of directors. "We're looking at 15 million visitors in the lower mainland for Expo '86," said Oddvin Vedo. "We want this thing off and running strong before then to maximize our share of the business. A lot of operators���from hotels to gas stations���could clear their mortgages that year if we do it right."

VON ISO HMHI Coast News, December 20,1982 Mission Point near Davis Bay was one of several locations battered by high winds and tide last week. This was the siluation last Thursday morning. -j... i.,��ut ...i. Tides and wind cause havoc Owning or renting waterfront property seemed to many Sunshine Coast residents something of a questionable blessing as two fierce storms with high tides brought waves and driftwood closer than was either customary of comfortable. On Mission Point on Thurs day morning, one couple waited through the high tide as a huge log which had lain half- buried in the sand for more than ten years rolled with the waves in jarring contact with their house; in Gibsons one shorefront dweller had the tide seep into his cabin and for a while couldn't open his door to There's no better time lo say "Thank you" for your pail patronage!

While no area of the Sunshine Coast escaped the battering or was without its tales of trouble, the low-lying Mission Point area was perhaps the worst affected. Besides the high waves breaking over the low shore, water filled in through the old slough from what used to be Jackson's Booming Grounds and, at one point on.. Thursday morning, Mission Road was under three-and-a- half feet of water. By the weekend, MP Ray Skelly and MLA Don Lockstead had managed to arrange to have a joint agreement, signed a year ago between the federal and provincial governments, put into effect. Under the agreement, the provincial government would provide accommodation through the Provincial Emergency Programme, for people put out of their homes under circumstances such as those encountered this past week. The federal government agreed to reimburse PEP for the costs incurred. Working for community by Susan Thompson Co-ordinator Meals on Wheels As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season builds - as we hurry from bazaar to bake sale and buy yet another raffle ticket, we can easily forget what happens when it is all over - when the tables are dismantled and put away. The Meals on Wheels committee has had cause of late to consider these events and the people who work so hard to make them a success, as well as the' 'why'' of it all. They work in the community to help create a better community. When Meals on Wheels expanded to Sechelt, the service clubs in the area were approached for financial support. We would now like to thank them publicly, through your paper, for their support was most generous. Thank you and best wishes to: ��� The Sechelt Legion and its Ladies Auxiliary; the Roberts Creek Legion; the Sunshine Coast Lions Club; the Kinsmen Club of Gibsons and District; the Elphinstone Chapter of the Eastern Star. The Meals on Wheels committee is grateful to these dedicated members of the community. We would also like to extend hearty thanks to those private donors and Klaus and Hughie of Klaus Catering for bearing with us so far. We on the Sunshine Coast can be very proud of our local members.

December 20,1982 Rambling* of a Hover He's sticking to his story by Dec Cee There were several versions presented as to what actually happened in the airmen's mess tent that late afternoon. Even now, although almost 40 years have elapsed, I am not too sure of how it all cameabout. That it was inevitable, there was no doubt, but I am not about to revise the story 1 gave at the time and it went something like this. The day started ordinarily enough. It so happened that it was one of (he d.:ys when I had lo make the trip to Follenbostel to draw the rations, not only for the airmen and N.C.O.'s but for the officers' mess as well. Seeing that the truck would not become available until around 11:00 a.m. I spent the morning, with Cpl. Murdochs assistance, making a batch of doughnuts to supplement the airmen's supper meal. I think we made over 200 of them, which would provide two apiece and a few left over. We had just finished our task when the truck arrived with the usual driver and two armed swampers in the back, so I clambered aboard and away we went. Apart from a heated argument with the R.A.S.C. Sergeant at the supply depot -he had tried to foist some part - ly decomposed fish on to me ~W |��f/n your time of need. We CQre.

Shop ewenlnge a, eevel Sunnyeft Mall, Qlbeone 886-2024 | -nothing unusual occurred and we arrived back at camp just as the supper meal was being served. Now, whether this had any bearing on what transpired is debatable, but I remember I went over to my tend and unbuckled my belt with the two bolstered guns; I still carried the Webley .38 and a Colt .45; threw them on the bed and then, on the spur of the moment, I decided I would have a good slug of Aquavit before proceeding to the mess tent to see how things were going. One slug led to a second and it was surprising how fast the weariness of a long firing day disappeared. I felt fine! Joining the Corporal and some of my cooks at the serving table, as the men filed past with their mess-kits extended to receive the food, I suddenly became aware that there were no doughnuts in sight. The cook at the end of the serving line was doling out jam on to the men's bread ration. Thinking that Cpl. Murdock had forgotten about the doughnuts we had made, I halted the lineup and ordered him to go and get them. To my amazement (and fury) he informed me that some time in the afternoon, during my absence, Flt./Lt. F. had come over to the mess tent and, after sampling them, had ordered that they be taken over to the officers' mess. Although he hadn't put it in words, the implication was that they were too good for ordinary airmen -they were officers' fare. To say that I was infuriated is to put it mildly so, with the supper line-up still halted, I boiled over to the officers mess tent, not only to retrieve the missing dessert, but to give the Messing. Officer a piece of my mind. As it happened, he wasn't around at the time, so I ordered one of the cooks there to take them back to where they belonged. The serving of supper was resumed, but we had hardly got started when Flt./Lt. F. arrived and, once again, the line was halted. Now I want to make it clear that I didn't need any Aquavit to assist my getting into an altercation with this s.o.b. I hated his guts and I am sure my feelings were reciprocated. I cannot remember all that was said, but I adamantly refused to let him have the doughnuts taken to the officers' mess in spite of the fact he had ordered one of my men to do just that. One thing led to another and we were still wrangling when he left the tent and I followed him out.

Alex Reid will be conducting the St. John's Services twice, once beginning at 6:30 p.m. and again, beginning at 8:00 p.m. At Gibsons, the church will be open from 10:00 p.m. on, with the Service beginning at 11:00 p.m. The emphasis on all these events will be the First Christmas Story, as told through reading and song. The Lessons will be the scriptural message of the Birth of Christ and the Carols will be the familiar ones that can be sung and enjoyed by all. An open invitation is extended to all who may wish to "go to church" on Christmas Eve. At the conclusion of the Carols and Lessons at the Gibsons Church, and as close to midnight as possible, Rev. Mr. Reid will be offering a celebration of the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Believing Christians are invited to participate. For some, Midnight Communion has become a very important tradition. Others may wish to make it so, beginning this Christmas. what occurred, but when he arrived back at the officers' section he was bleeding from a bad gash on the forehead. He claimed I struck him, while my story was (and it was corroborated by each one of my men when interrogated later), that he had tripped over one of the guide-ropes and in all probability had hit his head on a tent peg. Be that as it may, I ended up with five charges against me. I will not en umerate them, but t h ree were related to the incident with the Messing Officer, while two more were added for good measure over the taking of a military vehicle into a forbidden zone without authority. Once more 1 was back in a tent with an armed guard pacing up and down outside. I had plenty of time to think things over and, as is customary in ihese cases, I had asked for and received a copy of the K.R. & R.'s (King's Rules and Regulations) so I pored over that. I was also allowed visitors. One of ihem was the Sergeant with whom I had shared a tent and he smuggled me in a bottle of cognac, so at least I had some liquid refreshment to ease the ordeal! When I was taken over to the Adjutant's quarters a day or so later and informed that I had been demoted in rank from sergeant to corporal, I practically laughed in his face. According to the K.R. & R.'s, before an N.C.O. can be demoted, he has the right to request an inquiry into the circumstances leading to the demotion and also a trial. I had received neither privilege and refused to accept such an arbitrary decision. It wasn't long before I was called up again. This time I faced both the CO. and the wimp acting as his adjutant. I was coldly informed that as soon as it could be arranged I was being flown back to England. There I would get my court of enquiry and, hopefully on their part, a court martial. On that cheerful note 1 was dismissed.

To continue with our look al various plants, common and uncommon, I'll begin this column with Balm, also known as Lemon or Sweet Balm. Melissa officinalis (LINN.) The name Melissa is derived from the Greek word signifying "bee", because of the great attraction the members of the Melissa genus have for those insects. Balm, an abbreviatin of Balsam, has long been used as a treatment for all kinds of disorders of the nervous system. The London Dispensary (1696) says: "Asessenceof Balm, given in Canary wine every morning will renew youth, strengthen the brain, relieve languishing nature and prevent baldness." Many virtues have been given this plant, from the keeping of bees in the hive, to staunching wounds and curing the stings of scorpions. It has been recognized now that the balsamic oils of aromatic plants make excellent dressings for wounds. This is because, being hydrocarbons, they contain so little oxygen that where they are used as dressings, the germs which could cause inflammation are starved out, and the wound sealed against infection. A tea made by steeping 1 ounce of the leaves, in I pint of boiling water for 15 minutes is very beneficial in colds and fevers as it induces a mild perspiration. It is even more effective combined with lime and elder flowers or chamomile. There are many references to its power to promote longevity; Llewelyn, Prince of Glamorgan, who died in his 108th year, took Lemon Balm tea night and morning. Used externally, the tea may be used as a cleansing wash for the face, and to relieve the pain of gout. The tea is also said to be useful in preventing headaches brought on by over-tiredness, something which could prove handy in this Festive Season. The scent of the leaves is very long lasting, making it ideal for use in pot pourris and herb cushions. A little Lemon Balm is a very pleasant addition to fresh fruit and vegetablejuices; add to China tea for a refreshing drink, and to wine cups.'+reshly chopped leaves may be used on salads, sauces, egg and milk dishes. Because of its sweet flavour it is a good sugar substitute in various drinks. It may be used frequently and in any quantity because of its mildness. Balm is very easy to cultivate. In fact it usually grows so well it is advisable to plant it in a part of the garden where it may spread without crowding out other plants. It prefers a moderately rich soil and a sunny sheltered spot. Propagate from seed, cuttings, or by root division in either spring or autumn. Keep clean from weeds and cut off the decayed stalks in the fall. The next plant is well-known and easy to grow. Basil (Ocymum basilium ��� LINN.) Basil is an annual in these northern climes. It is best to 4art seeds inside or in the greenhouse towards the end of March, for planting outside in May, when the weather is warming up. The plant likes a rich soil with plenty of sun. ll does very well in the greenhouse, and benefits from frequent clipping. Its history is filled with strange superstition; scorpions were said to gather where the plant was cultivated, and some people believed that if a sprig of the plant were left under a pot, in time it would be transformed into a scorpion. Even smelling the plant could bring a scorpion into the brain itself. In India the plant is sacred to both Krishna and Vishnu and is found in many, Hindu houses. Basil is best known as a delicious flavour in Italian cooking, but ii has other uses too. The leaves, dried and finely ground have been used as snuff for nasal colds and are said to clear the brain and help combat headaches. Wine in which Basil leaves have steeped is a digestive tonic and is said to stimulate milk in nursing mothers. It may be taken as a tea, made by steeping 1 ounce of leaves in I pint of boiling water for five-10 minutes, or in soups, ragouts, salads and other dishes. It is an excellent flavour in fresh vegetable juices. The dried leaves may be used in pot pourris and two handfuls of the leaves in 2 pints of boil ing water makes a great facial steam bath. It is always good with tomatoes, cooked, canned, in salads or in tomato juice. Following is a recipe for Pesto Alia Genovese. This is a paste traditionally used with all pasta dishes. It may be made and kept in a jar in the refrigerator to use in soups, on pizza, French bread or to add flavour to any pasta. Grind 1 tablespoon pine nuts or cashews. Chop finely Vi cup fresh Basil without stems. To use dried Basil, add boiling water which has cooled, to an equal amount of the leaves, and let sit until the water has been soaked up. Add 14 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, finely grated. Blend the mixture on a slow speed in the blender or pound in a mortar. Add 10 tablespoons oil (sunflower, corn or olive) drop by drop while slowly turning. Add a pinch of salt. Add I Vt ounces butter in small pieces, stirring or blending all the while, until the mixture becomes a thick paste. Put in a jar and cover with a thin layef of melted butter. Keep cold. Another useful recipe is for aromatic seasoning. Mix the following ingredients very well and keep in an airtight bottle. Use an old spice jar so that you can shake the seasoning out when needed. 1 tablespoon each nutmeg, mace, dried ground bay leaves. 2 tablespoons each ground cloves, ground peppercorns, dried winter savory. 3 tablespoons each dried basil, dried marjoram, dried thyme. 1 teaspoon each cayenne pepper, dried ground lemon peel, dehydrated garlic.

BC FERRIES SCRD details 1983 budget The Sunshine Coast Regional District's 1983 provisional budget was outlined to directors Monday at a special meeting of the SCRD. Secretary-treasurer Larry Jardine took directors through a detailed ewBiaation of expected revenues and expenditures for 1983, in a budget that will realize, if approved, a one per cent reduction in expenditures; but, as a result of declining revenues, will result in an increasein taxation of between 14 and 17 per cent depending on allocation of funds saved from non participation in joint use facilities. Based on an assessed value for an average property on the Coast of $90,000, the total SCRD portion of the 1983 tax bill is expected to be $36 in area A; $39 in area B; $39 in area C and $49 in area E. This represents an increase of $6, $7 and $8 respectively, for a total estimated tax bill of $584 in area A; $545 in area B; $573 in area C and $566 in area E. Total expenditures for the 1983 provisional budget are set at $1,633,410, excluding the user-pay functions such as Water, Sewer and the Pender Harbour pool. Estimated total expenditure for 1982 is $1,648,235. Budget hignlights include: an 11 per cent increase in expenditures for general government, a 12 per cent increase in tire protection, a 15 per cent increase in street lighting expenditures, a 20 per cent increase in planning (a result of the fact that a third planner was not in place during part of 1982), a 52 per cent increase in expenditures for the office of the Economic Commission, (the Economic Commission was in operation nine months of 1982) and a decrease of 64 per cent in SCRD expenditures on the joint use of schools. Jardine pointed out to directors that the regional board's share of the total property tax bill represents only six to nine per cent, depending on the area concerned. The 1983 provisional budget was approved by the board at Thursday night's regular meeting. At that meeting as well, a motion put forward by Sechelt mayor Bud Koch to utilize the $100,000 earmarked for building acquisition, was defeated.

Christmas, the time of year when, in this country, the turkey is the main feature on the family table. In other parts of the world, fish and seafood may be the important item, or at least one of the special foods on the menu.

Koch gives reasons ��� by Julie Warkman Sechelt Mayor Bud Koch told the Coast News that the big reason for recommending that the "staff of the Sunshine Coast Regional District return to a fivei-day work week is for continuity in dealing with issues over the counter. He explained that the problem with a four- day work week is that people usually take Mondays and Fridays off, not days during the week. What happens is that the person who relieves on Monday is totally at a loss when they return to relieve on Friday, as so much has happened during the week that it takes more time to sort out where things are, than it does to do the work. jri what appears to be a contradictory statement, Koch then said, "When things (the economy) get better in a year or two, perhaps we can look at going back to a four-day week." The staff at the SCRD presently work a 35-hour week and the offices are open 47 hours a week, from 8:00 a.m. -5:00 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and until 6:00 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays. The offices remain open over the lunch hour. These hours are especially convenient for builders who can get their business at the regional district office done before beginning the day, or after the work day, thereby not interfering with their normal work. It is also convenient for people who live out of town. There is time to catch an afternoon ferry in Vancouver and make it to the regional district office before it closes that day. If the regional staff were to return to a five-day work week, something they haven't done for approximately six years, the regional offices would be open a maximum of 40 hours a week and quite likely will be closed over the lunch hour, thereby greatly reducing the hours the public is served. Koch noted to the Coast News that he was not trying to make it difficult for people. At Thursday's regional board meeting he stated that the motion by no means reflects on the staff, or the regional district, but is a sign of the times.

Goddard told the Coast News that in doing so she tried to spread the responsibility fairly and represent both ends of trie Coast. The following is the list of the various committees and board appointments. Mrs. Goddard also noted that she still hopes to name members from the public to these committees, where possible. Jim Gurney, Area E director, will serve as Finance chairman and will also serve as an alternate on the Public Utilities Committee, along with Sechelt Mayor Bud Koch. Public Utilities will be chaired by Area C director Jon McRae, The Planning Committee will be chaired by Area A director Ian Vaughan, who will also sit on the Parks Committee as alter nate. Area B director, Brett McGillivray, will serve with Vaughan on the Planning Committee and will chair the Parks Committee. New this year is a Service Committee, which is set up to deal with personnel matters. Chairman Goddard will personally chair this committee, with assistance from Area B director Pat Murphy and Area E director Jim Gurney. A committee to deal with Tourism and Economic Development will be chaired by Area F director John Shaske, with Area C director Jon McRae serving as alternate. The Union Board of Health, Hospital and PEP Committee will be chaired by Area B director Pat Murphy, chairman Goddard will serve as alternate. Noting the light load given to Sechelt Mayor Bud Koch, Goddard told the Coast News that in view of public statements made by Koch concerning his work load, she felt that it was in everyone's best interests to keep his involvement to a minimum. Teachers terminated Programme cuts and staff reductions have resulted in the termination of one-and-a-half teaching positions in School District 46 schools. The board's decision to terminate the Native Arts Cultural Programme at Sechelt Elementary School means that Joanne Meyer, a Sechelt teacher on temporary contract, will lose her job. Jane Griffiths, a half-time learning assistance teacher at West Sechelt Elementary has had her temporary contract terminated as the result of programme reductions. The total number of full- time teaching positions in the district was 180.35 prior to the terminations which were effective December 17th. Representatives of the Sechelt Indian Band are expected to petition the board at Tuesday's meeting to reinstate the Native Arts Cultural Programme.
